My bet is on the Bowling ball. At 20000 ft the pull of gravity is only marginally smaller than that of the Baseball bat at 2 ft above sea leval. Because both have been lifted to their respective hights giving them potential energy, I would keep out of the way of the ball.

Any two objects on the same shelf of a cupboard have the same potential energy?

No. The bowling ball has a lot more gravitational potential energy than the salt shaker sitting next to it. You knew that, because it took a lot more muscle energy/force/work to put the bowling ball up there than to put the salt shaker up there. That's where the potential energy came from. Also, when both of them fall from the shelf, even though they'll both hit the floor at the same time, the bowling ball will hit with a lot more kinetic energy, as evidenced by its ability to chip more tiles upon impact than the salt shaker will. The potential energy depends not only on the height to which the object is lifted, but also on the object's mass.


The energy associated with a bowling ball knocking down bowling pins is?

The bowling ball transfers its kinetic energy (energy of movement) to the stationary bowling pins.


Which has more thermal energy a 5kg bowling ball that has been resting n a hot driveway for 4 hours on a 35 Celsius day or the same bowling ball rolling down a lane in air conditioned bowling alley?

The bowling ball resting on the hot driveway will have more thermal energy due to absorbing heat from the hot surface for 4 hours. When the bowling ball rolls down the lane in the air-conditioned bowling alley, it will lose some of that thermal energy as it moves and interacts with the cooler indoor environment.


What are some ways people use kinetic and potential energy?

its like your sitting in a chair potential then u get up and do something like move the chair kinetic


How can you change potential energy of a sitting person into other type of energy?

if that person look in a negative way to any others may cause disturbance in others body if said sitting person look to others with real smile then that may cause pleasure storm to body of others if a sitting person order to disturb the situations that can using eye energy and mouth energy he can convert into other way as he desire where as he is sitting

For each of the following situations state if the object has potential energy or kinetic energy. (a) a bowling ball rolling down the aney (b) a book sitting on the top sheIf of a bookcase?

(a) The bowling ball rolling down the alley has kinetic energy due to its motion. (b) The book sitting on the top shelf of the bookcase has potential energy due to its position above the ground.


Which has greater gravitational potential energy a car sittknv on top of a hill or a bowling ball sitting kn top of the same hill?

Gravitational potential energy is proportional to the object's height and its mass. So if the car has more mass than the bowling ball has, then it also has more gravitational potential energy.


Why does A stretched elastic or stretched string each have potential energy?

Think of a bowling ball sitting on a shelf. The ball itself is no different from a bowling ball sitting on the floor, but one of them contains enough potential energy to break the bones in your foot if you drop it. The energy that is converted when you stretch the elastic or string from its relaxed state is called potential energy by analogy, even though there's really no potential field equivalent to gravity.


Is sitting in a chair example of potential energy?

Sitting in a chair is an example of gravitational potential energy. This is because when you are sitting in a chair, you have the potential to fall down due to gravity. Your position above the ground gives you potential energy that can be converted to kinetic energy if you were to stand up and fall.


A bowling ball striking the pins is kinetic or potential energy?

When a bowling ball strikes the pins, it is kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy refers to stored energy that has the potential to do work, such as when the ball is held at the top of a ramp before being released.


Do a rock sitting on top of a cliff has no energy?

If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy


Is a glass of water sitting on a table potential energy?

No, a glass of water sitting on a table does not have potential energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state, such as when the glass of water is raised above the table.


What kind of energy that a ball sitting on steps have?

Potential Energy. Because it is the energy at rest =))))


What type of energy is a frog sitting on a lily pad kinetic?

No, the energy of a frog sitting on a lily pad would be potential energy, as it is not currently in motion but has the potential to move due to its position above the water.


What form of energy is a bolder sitting on a cliff?

The type of energy of a boulder sitting on a cliff is potential energy. Potential energy is possible energy as opposed to actual energy. If it were to start rolling down the hill, the energy would change to kinetic energy.


Does a book sitting on a shelf have potential energy?

Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.


Is it a potential energy A glass jar sitting on a shelf?

Yes, the glass jar sitting on a shelf has potential energy because it has the potential to fall due to gravity. This potential energy is stored in the jar due to its position above the ground.
